[xcrysden] problems with installing XCRYSDEN-1.5.24-src-all again

[Elie Albert Moujaes]

Dear Tone,

I have looked the error up and knew that I need to install an older version of 
XCrysden (I have actually installed XCrySDen-1.5.21-bin-semishared). When I 
run xcrysden I get the DISPLAY problem again mainly:

"TCL_LIBRARY=/home_cluster/fis718/eliemouj/XCrySDen-1.5.21-bin-
semishared/external/lib/tcl8.5
XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR=/home_cluster/fis718/eliemouj/XCrySDen-1.5.21-bin-semishared
XCRYSDEN_SCRATCH=/home_cluster/fis718/eliemouj/xcrys_tmp

Application initialization failed: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment 
variable
Error in startup script: can't read "xcrys(platform)": no such variable
    while executing
"if { $xcrys(platform) == "windows" } {
    # testing ...
    rename exec _tcl_exec

    proc exec {args} {
        global env

        # first try a normal exec..."
    (file "/home_cluster/fis718/eliemouj/XCrySDen-1.5.21-bin-
semishared/Tcl/cygwin.tcl" line 19)
    invoked from within......."

which is a problem of setting the DISPLAY parameter which when I write echo 
$DISPLAY, it displays nothing. To what should this parameter be set or how can 
I solve this problem. The system is LINUX and not windows. Sorry to bother you 
with this but it seems with all version, I am getting problems (though this 
last one is a an X platform one..


Regards

Elie
